Letters Patent No. 90,7 39, dated! June 1, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the eamo.

To all whom 'it may concern y Be it known that EDWARD P. liUnLoxG, of Portland, in the county ofCurnberland, and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Besoin-Machine; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others to make and use my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which is shown a sideview, in perspective, of my invention.

A shows a guide-rack containing the guides.

B is an edge view of another guide or rack.

C is a view of the manner of preventing certain of the trucks from revolving on the shafts c b.

l) isa View of one of the revolving trucks.

My invention relates to a machine for the manufacture of bosoms from paper and cloth, and is set in a proper and convenient frame or support, E.

Motion is imparted to the machine at the wheel c on the shaft d. I y

The residue of the rolls` ofthe machine are revolved by the connection of the material to be manufactured with such rolls and the lshaft (l.

0n the shafts a bare trucks or rolls, as shown, but every other one only revolves; i. c., if, for instance, 1 is rotary, then 2`is tixedon the shaft; and still -further, if 1 on the shaft a is rotary, then 1 on the shaft b is fixed, &c. e

On each of these rotary trucks or rolls is placed a roll of paper, formed of a strip, of which the plaits of the bosom are made.

A certain number is placed-on the rolls of the shaft u, and others on those of b, placed beneath the spaces, between those on a..

The rotary trucks are wound with paper, and then placed on their shafts c b, which are then set in the upright part of the frame of the machine, as represented. v

'lh'e trucks can also be removed by simply slipping them oli` the shafts, when such shafts are taken out of the machine.

The stationary trucks (see C) are kept immovable by being constructed with a small metal lip in their holes, (see 0,) to tit a groove, f, in the shaft.

This allows them to be removed and replaced, when desired, with ease, and stillkeeps them from revolving on the shaft.

The placing a fixed kbetween every two rotary trucks, has for its object to prevent one contiguous truck from carrying another by contact and friction, and thus unwinding the paper from it too rapidly.

I The strips thus placeihon the movable trucks, are then passed through the guide-rack g, through another guide-rack, It, over the paste-roll i, under the roll j, through the guides lf, over theroll il, under the roll on, and then are wound on the shaft d.

The cloth is wound on the roll n, and, passing unl der the roll o, passes up through guides lf, over the roll l, and so follows, in the same course with the paper, to theshaft d.

The paste-roll@ is placed in a trough, p, containing the adhesive mixture.

IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR FORMING SHIRT-BOSOMS 4I|E'1'1.OM PAPER AND CLOTH COMBINED.

It is, moreover, furnished with raised parts, shown in the darker color in the drawing.

As it revolves, it takes up the paste, 85e., on these raised parts, and the paper, passing over and resting von such parts, takes up the paste, and so when the cloth and papel' come together, the two are united by the paste.

q shows a roll under the roll d, upon which I wind a roll of rubber cloth, and this roll of cloth is wound upon the roll d by'the revolution thereof, and rests between the convolutions of the bosom-tirateral, and thus prevents it from adhering together, as it would otherwise be likely to do when thc paste is green, and the paper and cloth just united.

lhus it will be seen that the paper and cloth are wound off their respective rolls by the revolution of d.

Y The guides Il direct the strips properly on to the` paste-roll.

The guides k bring the strips in a proper position to unite with the cloth.

The cloth is not in strips, but in one sheet or strip, covering` the back of the bosom-paper, and the strips of paper being slightly separated by the guides, are united on the back or inside by the cloth, and are so united as to fold over upon one another when desired.

- rlhe guides lc are inserted fin a table, A, shown in the detail, which is capable of moving backward an'd forward in the inclined track r.

An edge view of the guides his seen at B.

The method of attaching the paper to the rotary rolls is illustrated at s, where an inclined slit in the truck allows the end of the paper strip to be inserted, and the stripthen wound on the truck.

lLhe roll ym, is of great importance in the machine, for, pressing gently against the roll d, with its roll of cloth and paper united, it smooths`each successive convolution, and prevents wrinkling or roughness, and as the roll grows larger, slips back in the grovet.-

After the material is thus put together, it is unwound from d, and cut into the required forms.

\Vhe11 thus unwouud, the rubber cloth is also unwouhd, and wound on to .q again, preparatory-to another use.

What l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isn l. lhe shafts a b, with their peculiarly-constructed fixed and rot-ary trucks, as herein described.

2. The combination of the said trucks with the pasto-roll and shaft (I, as described.

5. rlhe combination of the trucks on the said shafts a b with the guide racks, guide-rolls, paste-roll, and shaft d, as described.

4. The smoothing-roll lm, arranged as described, and for the purpose set forth.

5. The adjustable table A, with its guides k, coinbined and arranged as herein described.
